alt Hacker NewsTaco Bell is a monopoly because they restrain the trade of tacos because they ask me to take my taco truck elsewhere when I park in their parking lot to sell tacos. Never mind there are other places I can set up my truck, never mind there are tons of other taco shops, Taco Bell is a monopoly as now I need to go find a different corner to sell my tacos, they're restraining the trade of tacos.
Everything is a monopoly these days. Its practically meaningless in these conversations.

Get this, they won't even let me sell my tacos through the Taco Bell app. What a monopoly! We need to get the FTC to enforce Taco Bell's and Taco Bueno's mobile apps to make their apps support every taco truck's ordering system. They're restraining the marketplace of selling tacos through their apps to only their own stores!
Every feature of their apps needs to be easily integrated into whatever random POS every single food truck uses! I should be able to buy tacos from any taco vendor through the Taco Bell app. They're a monopoly!
I would actually be pretty concerned if Taco Bell bought Ford and would only allow Ford cars to use their drive-through or parking lot.
Imagine a world where 95% of grocery stores insist on you driving a Ford car.
